Hey there
I just got Cold war for linux in the mail yesterday and got it installed but when i try to run it says

Code:
Cold War encountered a problem while it was running.

There are a few possible causes for this failure.
Make sure all drivers (OpenGL, sound) are properly installed.

The following information might be useful for technical support:
Exit code: 0x00000021


well i disabled sound so thats not it, and glxgears runs fine so i dunno, any ideas?

Ubuntu edgy
nvidia 7800 - recent drivers (1.0-9631)
